I've not had a paid job in the animation industry since Dead End wump wump. Obviously my comics work has been good and I've been developing lots of exciting things but there ain't no money in development and nobody wants to hire an ex-showrunner to do anything else on a production for some reason.

Last year was the hottest year on record. Wildfires are still burning in LA.

Trump's plan?

Withdraw from the Paris Climate Accords (again) & pour money into the pockets of his fossil fuel buddies.

Our climate cannot afford these setbacks.

Why doesn’t it just rename itself “The Daily Farage” and have done with it?

For the avoidance of doubt.

This Machine Kills Fascists

A not so gentle reminder

NOTE: Alt text cropped to fit I'm Detocroix. I started this BattleTech Community project in July 2021. Since then I have also organized and edited BattleTech Pride Anthology twice, I have made a lot of queer BattleTech art, if you've seen enamel pins, stickers, charity shirts, or some other BattleTech Pride stuff over the years, you've probably seen something I've made. I just want people to enjoy and feel welcome, I want people to feel safe with this hobby. I don't make stuff for myself, I make things for the queer community, I make neat things *for you*. While what's going on in US doesn't directly affect me yet, I feel you and I fear for you. There's not much I can do, being this far away, I'm even in the Deep Ass Periphery of Europe. Things are going to go worse before it can become better, and I just want you to survive this. Please. Even with all the rot going on, this place is here for you, this hobby is always for you. There's some amazing people who work for CGL who work on this franchise and they care for you too. There's queer communities that are welcoming where you can find solace and escape in, be it QueerTech/Pride Anthology Discord--our little home within home, or Star League. CGL Discord is also strongly moderated. There are places where you can go, and enjoy the hobby without being exposed to the rot. Just Bluesky is infinitely better than any other platform at this point. There are amazing queer community projects coming this year, something to look up to; we're making Pride Anthology this year too, for the third time. Wild-Cat144 is making a comic anthology. Star League is organizing a Pirate Point fanzine. I know there's other projects too, and this year is very much going to be the queerest BattleTech year ever. Outlive your oppressors, that's the best and worst thing you can do to them. We are here for you, every single day, being stupid with BattleMechs. Just don't give up <3 ~Detocroix

BattleTech is us 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Eternal War on Transphobes

They will go after Wikipedia.

They will go after libraries.

They will go after school boards and public extracurricular activities that are anything but sports.

They will go after archives.

Because knowledge, education, culture, and progressives are all the enemy.

Thinking is the enemy.

nominally “liberal” mainstream media is now running cover for an out and about fascist. these are dark times we are living in and we truly cannot rely on these fascist sympathizers anymore

sounds like a way to manufacture consent to heavily crack down on anyone who expresses discontent about health insurance companies like they did with that woman in Florida.

A man looks at another man with an angry-seeming exression and comments "are you... mad at me?" The other mans says "no, I just have naturally arched eyebrows." The first man says "jeez, you don't have to fly off the handle like that." The arched eyebrow man says "but I-" The first man cowers and shouts "don't hurt me! I'll give you whatever you want!"

it disgusts me the national democratic party barely pushes back at this attempt from the right to wind back LGBTQ rights decades after claiming to be the party of LGBTQ rights

We’ve seen a disturbing resurgence of brazen neo-Nazi activity in the last two years. But if the last Trump admin is anything to go by, these groups are likely feeling emboldened by the election results.

Nazis in Ohio.

We need more people to be outraged about the people trump is emboldening in our country.

These are the people that thrive under political apathy and inaction.
